Need a shower. Just called all 11 GOP Senators on Judiciary Committee

[calimary]

12. And yes, always be polite.

I’m sure they’re told to behave when they take your call. But I suspect you may got reach a young partisan who could just as easily NOT count your input.

Also, some of these phone answerers are probably young, maybe interns, maybe volunteers - also known as “unpaid.” And I bet they take a LOT of guff from jerks who call in. Don’t be one of those.

Besides, don’t think somebody who might be a hard partisan won’t remember if some caller gives him/her a bad time and what they called about. People hold grudges. People’s opinions get shaped by some of the most random things sometimes. Like - oh shit - just another “tree hugger” - man, if I ever run for office, fuck them!!!

It HAPPENS. As an occasional grudge-holder myself, I KNOW it does. I’ve had experiences in which - it doesn’t matter HOW nice so-&-so was at that meeting. So-&-so was so rude to me that day that I don’t give a crap what they say now, I’m voting against it.

People are human. It happens.
